This is the Third Step in the English Learner Identification Process
The New WIDA Screener for Kindergarten is currently being field tested to gather baseline data to establish a proficiency level criteria. After administering the KW-APT or the Kindergarten MODEL assessment for accountability, we are also asking practitioners to screen a minimum of 50% of these same students using the new WIDA Screener for Kindergarten, regardless of the proficiency results. This should be done within 2-3 days of administering the KW-APT or MODEL, if possible. Each district EL Coordinator will receive an email with a spreadsheet to enter results from the new Screener.
For more information, contact Antoinette Hallam, WDE Assessment Consultant, at 307-777-5217 or antoinette.hallam@wyo.gov or Jessica Steinbrenner at 307-777-8568 or jessica.steinbrenner@wyo.gov.
